Overview

Our renowned faculty--including authors of leading textbooks, internationally recognized scholars and esteemed practitioners--are the experts who will teach you the art and science of occupational therapy.

Features

The Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program at The Ohio State University is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA).

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Although the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) prepares students to practice occupational therapy, as a professional graduate degree, it does not prepare students for research or academic careers.

Students who are interested in becoming a researcher or a faculty member prepare for these careers by completing a PhD program.

At Ohio State University, students can combine the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program with the Health and Rehabilitation Science PhD program through entry into the OTD/PhD track.
